/r/BlackPeopleTwitter is just an excuse for racist white people to validate their prejudicial stereotypes
Looked through the comment histories of several users who made comments in (what they thought was) AAVE. Almost every single one was white and didn't use AAVE on the rest of reddit. Several users who were happy to type "black" in r/BlackPeopleTwitter were also happy to insult black protesters and black people in general elsewhere on the site.
It's a modern day minstrel show for reddit's good ole boys. I don't doubt there are real black people who like that subreddit, but my god is it an exercise in ignorance.
